The stalwart of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli, is probably the biggest name in the cricketing world at the moment. He has been able to achieve an unseen level of popularity due to his insane consistency in all three formats of the game. In particular, Kohli has been successfully consistent even in the T20 format, which is considered as the format in which it is almost impossible to remain consistent.
The run machine has been doing a phenomenal job for India for more than a decade, and there is still more to come. He has even captained India in T20Is for a long time. Unfortunately, India was not able to win any ICC trophies during his reign. Despite that, no one can deny that Kohli is one of the greatest of all time in the T20Is. Below, we have listed Virat Kohli’s stats and records in T20Is. These stats will prove why he is called the GOAT.
